One of our chief needs as creative beings is support. Unfortunately, this can be hard to come by. Ideally, we would be nurtured and encourages first by our nuclear family and then by ever-widening circles of friends, teachers, well-wishers. As young artists, we need and want to be acknowledged for our attempts and efforts as well as for our achievements and triumphs. Unfortunately, many artists never receive this critical early encouragement. As a result, they may not know they are artists at all.

Often it is tenacity, not talent, that rules the day.

Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.

It is the inner commitment to be true to ourselves and follow our dreams that triggers the support of the universe.

Love is the substance of all life. Everything is connected in love, absolutely everything.

Making art is an act of faith.

When we are on our right path, we have a surefootedness.
